Summer fun

Summer has been a blur this year, but here are a few things that i have remembered to pull out the camera for. My great aunt Martha came to town. just kidding, my awsome aunt Elinor came, so we haven't stopped since she got here. Now we have to hurry and squeeze another week of fun in before she has to pack up and drive back to Maryland.

Camping trip to Yellowstone. We went with some of the extended family that we don't get the chande to camp with much. something about camping unites people. i love that about it. This jeff and I on Yellowstone lake in a canoe. Not a very secure feeling to be on such a big lake in such a small boat. But we made it. We were practicing our communication skills with those ores. What i learned is that we need more practice. ha ha

Here is a quilt I put together so we could stay warm camping this summer. Then everyone came together at the Tea (Soda) party and helped me tie it.

Happy birthday cha cha cha, Jeff 38, prestyn 6. Hope it was a great day. We love u both sooo much.

Cousins and freinds. How lucky we are to be able to get to know our cousins so well that we are friends.

It took Royal a few rounds around the lake to decide this was fun. But he came around.










Cousins and friends forever.

Prestyn learning how to shoot. She. actually hit a few pop cans

Here a couple of pic perfect moment for Royal and his dad. He wanted to pitch to Jeff so they took turn hitting and pitching. He wanted to use a heavy bat like everyone else, not his big blue plastic one. He told Jeff he wanted to play a lota lota lota lota lota lota lota lota lota lota lota baseball.

How great to have 3 sisters. Growing up I often wished I was an only child and now I wish I had more. I wouldn't trade them for the world.

Jeff and I got the chance to get away in June. We went to Utah and wachted the Salt lake Bees play baseball, found a fun hike that had too much snow on the trail to hike up, hung out by the pool and drove up Ogden Canyon and saw alot of animals along the way.

Saige, Tylar and Prestyn have mastered the knee board. Saige is content to be pulled and go in and out of the wake while Tylar is working on her 360. Then there's Prestyn that has been building courage for a whole year now and thinks she is the bravest girl ever to just get on and go half way around the lake. Royal's job is driving the boat. In a few years he will be a pro.

Cowboy Royal! Mom left town for the weekend and dad took Royal to Cal Ranch. Pretty dang cute if u ask me.
